I have figured it out, the sneaking in of the Easter Egg (a certain little chocolate foiled egg in the 'splat' commercials specifically) on to supermarket shelves the day after Christmas: Lent.
What do most people give up?? Chocolate. How is Cadbury's supposed to sell all their cute little chocolate eggs if people give chocolate up for Lent? Start selling them right after Christmas so people will have had enough of them by Lent and not miss them until Easter!! Perfect plan.
My teenage chick LOVES these little eggs and buys them in six packs when the mood strikes. By Lent when she feels the need to give something up for religious purposes or peer pressure, she feels she can give up the foiled egg, no problem.
She has had two months of them so won't miss them for a while. That's my theory anyway. I don't really know what Cadbury's thinks.

I think you are right on the button!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, not so sure....I've given up chocolate for Lent and am already climbing the walls (and I've had more than my fair share of those little eggs since Xmas!!)
ReplyDeleteThis post made me smile. My daughter loves these as well!
ReplyDeleteI saw a joke on Twitter the other day: 'I've given up cheap chocolate for Lindt.'
